theoretical physics?

Question

i was hoping we might venture to discuss ufos for a moment. i don’t care necessarily what you think about them – including your belief in their existence. i’m just wondering about the propulsion systems on those spacecrafts, and will hopefully get some insightful and entertaining answers from you geniuses out there.

let’s say that you happen to see a “ufo”. you have no idea what it was. you did, however, see it move in the air in ways that you’ve never seen or heard of our own technology being capable of. one of the fantastic things you are lucky enough to observe is the “ufo” to go from a stand-still, hovering, position to a sudden acceleration that sends it up into the stars almost faster than your eyes can follow. it’s gone in a fraction of a second. entirely soundless. no sonic-boom, that’s for sure.

the question is: how might it be traveling? (continued)

I don’t think we should restrict ourselves to believing that they’re using standard combustion like we’re stuck in, and are therefore (possibly) outside the discussion of faster-than-light travel and whether that’s possible. Can we suggest that they bend space and step between two points, or that they can use wormholes, and that the sudden acceleration is a trick of the eye? is it more of a “sucked away” than a “pushed away” motion? or can they perhaps convert their physical energy into photons, and are therefore not bound by general gravitational considerations, such as effects of the g-force? Please suspend your disbelief long enough to consider how it might be possible. this is supposed to be fun.

gene: if you're no fun, then why bother?

charles: completely unsatisfying.

bladecrimson: although i understand that in a way i think you would appreciate, we all have to agree on something. and it has to follow certain laws of math, whichever they may be, as math seems to hold reality together

Answer 1

Light wave travel through an electrical inverse sequence.

Through the conduction of one laser - plasma - lightning

It can be put into a coiled subterfuge of sorts.

This inherently will not make a sonic implosion until the craft has reached a full stop. At which point it pretty much just appears and quite a lot of grounding area as been displaced.

Answer 2

Consider that according to quantum mechanics, the external aspects of the universe are merely a field of potential, As illustrated by the duality of matter to exist in a virtual nature and exhibit characteristics of particle and/or wave properties depending on the observer. In this reference the external universe becomes a collective construct of all the observer participants within it, so that any experience derived from such a field of potential was initiated by the observer for their unique benefit, and possibly others that share that similar belief. So aspects of paranormal and unexplainable phenomena are perceived as originating from 'out there' but indeed are projected from sources within the observer(s). Since there is no 'Out there', Out there!

Answer 3

Why would they be traveling? Since you have suspended the laws of physics as we know them, perhaps they have a matter transmitter, and simply "transmat" to the surface of the earth, and observe directly? Then, transmat back again. No need for space ships.

Answer 4

There would be no way to connect the obversations to our understanding of propulsion and physics.
